Detroit comes from Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow, whose most recent feature film was 2012's Zero Dark Thirty – and going by the trailer, it looks as though this release is going to be just as successful.

Boyega stars as security guard Melvin Dismukes, who witnesses three children being shot to death by the police – which is one of the horrific events that eventually spiral into the huge riots.

The trailer shows him in an interrogation room being threatened by the police that they'll pin the murders on him if he blabs, before there's more shooting, fighting and fires.
